Happy Earth Day! April 22nd is the day when President Obama and the rest of the gang demonstrate their commitment to saving the planet by flying in to plant a tree somewhere. And say what you like but, when you're looking for fellows who know how to dig a huge hole, Obama and Harry Reid are pretty much at the top of the list. My township in New Hampshire is 90 per cent forested, but you can never have too many trees, so on Earth Day I always like to plant a couple more, get the tree cover in my town up to 97, 98 per cent, whatever it takes to send climate change into reverse. Of course, it's always a big pain in the neck the morning after Earth Day, when the holiday's over, and it's time to take down the trees. So these days I generally just plant artificial trees with the nice silvery tinselly branches, and then you can just take them down and put 'em in the attic till next year's Earth Day.
Anyway, in honor of this great occasion, and of my impending trial at the hands of one of the great global warm-mongers of our time, I thought I'd rerun a few highlights from previous years. In 2002, in The National Post of Canada, I offered a quick compilation album of greatest hits from the early days of the movement - "Apocalypse Soon":
In 1968, in his best-selling book The Population Bomb, scientist Paul Ehrlich declared: "In the 1970s the world will undergo famines - hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death."

I think the blue tape is to keep him from getting a splinter in his hands, the gloves weren’t enough protection.
What a wimp!
The problem is that he didn’t get the part about “the blue tape is where you place your left hand while picking up the mattock. At the top of your stroke, pull down with your right hand and push with the left, sliding it down the handle toward your right hand as the mattock descends. Both hands are together at the end of the handle as the mattock hits the ground. You are standing up, but bent over enough at the waist so that you can hit your digging target.
Otherwise, Mr President, you look like a little girl trying to dig.”
Actually, after reviewing the photo, Mr President, you need to place your left hand closer to the head when lifting the mattock.
Practice! You’ll get the hang of it.
(ain’t it amazing that someone who can dig a multi-trillion dollar national debt hole doesn’t know how to use a mattock. How is he with a shovel? ...no, digging shovel, not the manure fork.)
Good little Marxists worshiping the earth and taking your money.
Pray America wakes up
Happy #Worshiptheearthday

As loose as the dirt surrounding the hole is, you don’t need a pick axe to dig a hole. Look at the blue tape on the handle. He never held one before, and they had to put the tape on it to show him were to hold it for the photo op.
